Application

Substrate

The steel surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean,
free from dust, have a good profile and be free from
all matter acting as release agents (e.g. oil, grease,
old paint etc.). In order to obtain the necessary
conditions, suitable substrate preparation methods
such as blasting must be used.

Steel surfaces must be abrasive blast cleaned to
near white (degree of cleanliness according
to DIN EN ISO 12944-4 degree of cleanliness at
least
Sa 2 ). The first coating must be applied
immediately after blast cleaning.
The surface profile should be between 50 m and 70
m. The blasting material shall be angled-shot.

2-Comp. Application

Ensure that the temperature of the substrate is at
least 3C above the dew point to avoid condensation
of the substrate to be coated due to humidity.

PROTEGOL

EP 32-99 is applied using a two-

component airless hot-spray system only. Dosing for
each component must be very precise with a
tolerance of 3 %.

Relative humidity during application and curing of the
coating must be < 80 %.

Depending on the field of use, small quantities can
be mixed manually and applied by brush.

Both components should be stored at room
temperature which will make application easier at
lower temperatures whereas at high summer
temperatures the drums shall be stored in a cool
place, by no means expose them to direct sunlight.

1 Comp- Application

Mixing

Both components should be stored at room
temperature which will make application easier. At
lower temperatures whereas at high summer
temperature the drums shall be stores in a cool
place.
Optimum material temperatures for a good spray
result are 20-25C.
Thoroughly mix the 2 Components with a slow speed
mechanical stirrer (e.g. drill fitted with a stirring
paddle running at about 400 rpm). Take care not to
stir in any air. Component B shall be added to
Component A while stirring. Then put the whole
content into another new and clean container, strip
any adhering residues with a spatula and add to the
new container while still stirring until the material has
been mixed homogeneously.

Application

To ensure a good spray result the material
temperature in the spray gun have to be 25C
minimum, this is the reason why we recommend the
usage of a flow heater on the high pressure side of
the airless pump.
Put the pump immediately after mixing direct in the
mixing vessel and start spray application.
Take care that after every 15 to 20 min. this vessel
have to be changed to avoid that reacted material
flow into the pump.

After every interruption of the pump, the hose and
the spraygun have to be cleaned with Solvent.

Depending on the field of use small quantities can be
mixed manually and applied by brush.

Maintenance of tools

Immediately after use all instruments should be
cleaned with Solvent D or G.

Health and Safety

Although PROTEGOL

EP 32-99 is solvent-free, it
may, if processed at elevated temperatures, develop
vapours which may cause irritation to the skin. It
must be ensured by suitable measures, such as
continuous ventilation, mechanical extraction or
respiratory protection that such vapours and any mist
eventually forming during the spraying process are
not inhaled. Therefore we recommend to wear filter
or fresh air masks.


When using PROTEGOL

EP Coating 32-99, all

safety precautions applicable to handling epoxy
resins and their hardeners must be observed. They
are listed in the Merkblatt fr die Verarbeitung von
Polyester- und Epoxidharzen (Application advice for
polyester and epoxy resins) published by the
German liability insurance association of the
chemical industry (order number M 023, Jedermann-
Verlag, Heidelberg).

Notes on dangers and safety advice on the
containers must be strictly observed!

In addition, the health and safety precautions being
effective in the respective country should be
observed.

Contact with the unprotected skin should be avoided.
Any material accidentally splashed onto the skin
should immediately be removed using warm, soapy
water or preferably with warm non-alkaline detergent.
(such as Lutrol E 400, BASF) Afterwards wash again
thoroughly with soap and water.

It is recommended to protect the skin with a silicone-
free barrier cream before starting work (such as
Stokolan, producer: Stockhausen, Krefeld or
Sansibal, producer: Basotherm, Biberach/Riss)

Any further information can be taken from the
material safety data sheets.
